My new book “the art of conscious conversation” Is now available!

Conversations are how we make sense of the world, build trust, and get things done.
But too often, we speak and listen on autopilot—stuck in habits that lead to confusion, conflict, or disappointment.

The Art of Conscious Conversations is a practical guide to noticing—and changing—those patterns. Instead of letting our default reactions drive the moment, we can learn to navigate conversations with more clarity, curiosity, and purpose.

Drawing from years of leadership coaching and personal insight, Chuck Wisner introduces four foundational types of conversations:

✔️ Storytelling – Recognize and question the internal narratives that shape how we see others and ourselves.
✔️ Collaborative – Learn to engage others’ perspectives without losing your own.
✔️ Creative – Open space for possibilities that didn’t exist before the conversation began.
✔️ Commitment – Make clear agreements that others can rely on—and you can stand behind.

This book offers a new way to understand what’s really happening in your conversations—and tools to do them better.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK

HI, I’M CHUCK WISNER

Our lives are shaped by the conversations we have—and the ones we avoid. I’m Chuck Wisner, and I help people become more aware of how they communicate, why it matters, and what’s possible when we do it consciously. Whether you’re leading a team, navigating conflict, or trying to be a better partner or parent, the way you speak and listen makes all the difference. My work blends leadership insights with the human art of dialogue—practical, transformative, and rooted in curiosity. Through coaching, speaking, and my book The Art of Conscious Conversations, I guide people in turning everyday conversations into opportunities for clarity, connection, and change.
